This guide assumes that Expression Engine has been installed on your server. The three most important concepts are templates, weblogs and tags. This guide in brief focuses on templates.

1. Log in to the console

2. Click on Templates and New Template Group

3. Fill in the name and Submit

4. Click on the new template group under Choose a Group. You will see an Index automatically created.

5. Enter this code:

<html>
<head>
<title>My First EE Site</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>The title of my post</h1>

<div class="entry">

Hello world! This is where my entry should show up.

</div>

</body>
</html>

6. Click on Update and then View Rendered Template

Note that this creates a main site template. It is possible to create templates for individual sections, such as news, which are known in Expression Engine as weblogs.
